Re: NetBIOS Shared Folder List Available

It would be nice if it turned it off for those who didn't even have an IBM
i account.

You can't turn it off for selected users. It is a switch that tells
netserver to broadcast it's shares or not. The shares are still there,
the network just won't be notified of them.

Other than that none I can think of. It does not eliminate all

security

concerns, just makes it tough for any except the really experienced

and

dedicated hacker to get past. And they have to be on your network to
start with.

I looked at this a couple of years ago, and never found a way to turn it

off for just a selected group of users.
